Summer Olympics 2024

LeBron James is a king. USA Basketball Team is a bigger king.
France did its best, but the fact is that when the USA comes with its senior team in basketball, there is no country on earth that it cannot beat.
If there is no LeBron, Stephen is going there. Without him, Kevin, without him, Embiid etc. it never ends.
Yesterday, Stephen Curry played excellently, especially the last 2 minutes, and broke all France's resistance.
Congratulations...

Who won the MVP for basketball?
Must be Steph Curry without any doubt, right?

Any France have very good players, they will dominate Europe in the following years and most of them will dominate NBA from next year.
Very impressive team.

[xzone]

USA was much better as expected. This time they didn't fall behind in the game. France stayed close until the end but couldn't push them any further. This team is already very difficult to beat. If they wanted and needed, they could've won differently. USA team was too strong. The GOAT LeBron James won Olympic gold medal once again for the last time.

Serbia was a much stronger team than France, they pushed their opponents hard in the semi-final match. But France had no chance in this match.
We understood in the first minutes how much LeBron James wanted to win the match. His game was so ambitious and competitive that France had no chance. He played as a full team captain. Curry's three-points were legendary. He has a style of play that I don't like at all, but I really respect him, he played very well at the end of the match

Spain is the hottest country currently in football and I don't think that it will be easy for any other country to win them because they have shown this in 2024 Olympics finals after they win France the host 5-3 in 120 minutes. Sergio Camello was able to seal their victory with a dying minutes goal with a clean finish from a counter.

It was not quite long that Spain won Euros and now Olympics. Spain have a whole lot of youngsters that will be dominating football in no time.

Congratulations to them for this great achievement.

A very exciting match, I also liked the way the French team played, maybe "Tití Henry" did well, he is handling his players in an impressive way, but the game that Spain played was superior, I do not deny it, France surprised me from the beginning but did not maintain the same level of the first minutes, Spain undoubtedly has the baton of the best team in Europe right now and so far of the Olympics, if the World Cup were this year, would it be likely that Spain would win it ? They have a very good lineup.

We had a very exciting match. I thought Spain would win the match easily but the way France returned in the match was remarkable. Although they can't win the match but it was a good effort from them. It was the Substitute Sergio Camello who socred twice in the extra time and helped the Spain win the Gold Medal.

Finals are always full of surprises so even though your thinking is perfectly in order, you don't expect any team that reaches the final, in that competition that was fiercely contested, to be an easy ride. Besides, the French side are good in all ramification and they truly performed accordingly even though they could not win the match. At some point in the competition, it was obvious that France and Spain were distinguished and most likely the finalists. I must congratulate Spain on yet another great achievement.

I didn't know medal tally before, was just keeping in touch with how Indian athletes are doing in Olympics, was happy with handful of bronzes and silvers that India won, now that I read [1] how many Golds alone China and USA has won, I feel very surprised and this comparsion took away my joy.

No. Stephen Curry was in all-star five, but he wasn't the MVP. The MVP was LeBron James.

I would like to dedicate a thought to the Italian women's volleyball team for the commendable performance they gave compared to the men they have just won the gold medal a magnificent performance by Paola egonu who once again demonstrated that she is of another very good level

[rdluffy]

It'll probably be Brazil's last chance of a gold medal at these Olympics, so I'll be rooting hard for Brazil to beat the United States in the Women's football final
My only bet will be both teams to score, with 1.94 odds

I don't have the courage to bet on Brazil, after all I've lost practically every bet I've placed on the women's team so far and I'm not going to risk it again, even if I'm rooting for them 

Just like you, I'm also rooting for a Brazil women to beat their USA counterparts in their Olympics football women's final that's already underway. It's halftime already in that game and none of the finalists have been able to find the back of the net despite the attacking threats that's been posed by both sides. From my assessment of the game, I think it'll be decided by a narrow win. I want to stake a live bet on the game and I'll go with a Brazil win.

We both didn't have much luck hehehe
Especially me who lost the Both teams to score bet, and anyway I would have lost if I bet on Brazil 
But it's okay, it's a good position to get a silver medal at an Olympic Games, but it's already become quite uncomfortable for Brazil, since the 3 times they've reached the final against the United States, they've lost, 2004, 2008 and now in 2024.
I expected a final with more goals, after Brazil beat Spain 4x2 

Who knows, maybe in London 2028 they'll get another chance?

France did very well, some of its performance is surely due to a home team advantage from France being the Olympics host.  Thats a given but also makes me think of how in Football they split up the teams of the United Kingdom because it promotes competitive sport to do so.

Surely USA should do the same in many sports where it dominates or are they too fond of winning to ever do so even if it helps the sport and competition generally, maybe thats not happening in the Olympics but other contests it should.   I doubt it ever happens anymore then China would recognize its size advantage, its still a fair idea imo.

The performance of the Italian women's volleyball team was extraordinary, they managed to dominate the match very well after defeating the United States Volleyball Team 3-0 in the final. They managed to crush the defending champions in three sets to win the gold medal, a match that looked very easy for them as USA Volleyball Team was unable to put up any resistance at all.
All eyes were of course on Paola Egonu who was the star of the final, she managed to score 22 points including four great blocks that prevented the opposing team from scoring. The success of the Italian women's volleyball team in winning the gold medal is a great record for them, besides winning the first gold medal, they also managed to end America dominance in women's volleyball.

[Haunebu]

U-S-A! Hell yeah! China was ahead thanks to 40 gold medals, but USA caught up thanks to their female track cycling omnium champion and their female Basketball team winning against France by an extremely small margin.

They won many golds, silvers and bronze medals thanks to which they truly deserve first position while China and Japan rounded out the top 3.

Italy destroyed USa in the Women volleyball.
A superb match for the italians, Usa haven't got any chance to even fight for a set.
The supremacy was astonishing.

Probably the strongest Italy ever seen in History even if they won other gold medals.

[Saint-loup]

When you say basketball, we say United States
Since the first period, USA were dominating the game with a comfortable lead. Only the third period was for the French side, otherwise finishing behind with 11 points difference isn't something to be proud of for France in the final game..
USA are right now 1 gold away from taking the first position from China.

11points difference against USA is maybe not something to be proud of for France, and I don't think anyone in France had celebrated that, but it's not something to be ashamed either IMO. The level of french players is of course way lower than the one of the american superstars, but with tennis it's one of the only sport of the Olympic games where all biggest pro superstars can compete for their country. Most sports are for amateurs or semi-professionals, and soccer tournament is only open to under 23 years old players (except 3 in each team afaik)

There is a tough competition of Gold medals between the United States of America and China. As of now, both the United States and China won 40 Gold medals each, it is a tie between them 
However overall, United states won 126 medals as compare to the China's 91 medals. The USA is a clear winner here in the Paris Olympics. Japan is on the 3rd position while the host France is in the 4th position in terms of total medals.

Olympics ended with epic women basketball final between USA and France. USA haven't lost any games in Olympics since 1992. France were one buzzer beater from sending game to overtime, but French player stepped on line and scored just 2 points instead of 3. This win let USA to end in the 1st place in medal table with 40 golden medals.
Men handball final was huge dominance od Denmark vs Germany, we already knew winner at halftime. It was last dance for Denmark legend Mikkel Hansen
Waterpolo final was classic clash between Serbia and Croatia. It was close game, but Serbia was leading most part of game and won gold.
Women marathon finish ended with epic sprint and win of Sifan Hassan - when she made that sprint, she was so fast that it didn't looked that more than 40km was behind her. And just 2 days ago she took bronze in another long distance - 10000m.

I would like to dedicate a thought to the Italian women's volleyball team for the commendable performance they gave compared to the men they have just won the gold medal a magnificent performance by Paola egonu who once again demonstrated that she is of another very good level

Whata performance by Italy. In the final they simply destroyed USA. As neutral spectator I didn't wanted to see such one sided action, but congratulations to Italy, I think it was great Olympics for them.

What? Curry was amazing, in the last 2 games, incredible anyway...
Final situation of medal is fun to see.

the US and China are both in the 1st spot if you use the European way to count with 40 gold medal each but USA got a bigger number of total medals.

A disappoint of the game is often India, they have over 1 billion people, do they do sports at school?

Any France have very good players, they will dominate Europe in the following years and most of them will dominate NBA from next year.
Very impressive team.

I'm not a fan of basketball and I rarely watch the sport but to be honest, I had to leave whatever I was doing yesterday to watch the final game yesterday between the USA men's basketball team and the France men's basketball team because of Stephen Curry and he didn't disappoint me with his performance in that match. Just like you, I have no doubt that he'll win the MVP for basketball. For the French basketball team, I think there's a lot of talent in that team and if they continue to nurture the team, they can go on to conquer the world in few years to come.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Olympics. Obviously my main love is football and with it being summer I get bored so am always looking for something to do to pass the time until the football starts up again. I really enjoyed the Olympics, some of the athletics was epic, really enjoyable.

It started off awfully with that abomination of an opening ceremony but the athletes put on a great show. Keely Hodgkinson was my favourite athlete in the Womens 800m.

It was Lebron James that has been awarded as the MVP for men's basketball in the Olympics.

What? Curry was amazing, in the last 2 games, incredible anyway...

The tally probably is for all of the games that have been made and the scores that each player made. But I guess that Lebron got all of the most points, I haven't seen the record yet but that's probably what it is.

It wasn't a point thing but rather a leadership thing.  Yes steph had 36 points in the semi final game but lebron had a triple double.  Tough to do in a r0 minute game vs a 48 minute nba game.  Lebron had to clean the boards score when it was important and feed every US player to make sure they were getting involved.  For some weird reason lebron hmgets a lot of hate but one thing for certain he guided this team to gold.  For that I agree dude deserved the mvp here.
